System.Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");

Hi,

My name is John Pelak, and I'm a Development Evangelist serving the Independent Software Vendor community in the New York Metropolitan Area. I've been working with the Microsoft technology stack for the last 15 years, and while I won't attempt to pass myself off as an expert on any one topic, I hope that sharing my experiences in getting large-scale, high-performance solutions up, running, secured, and reliable will be helpful to ISVs facing the same challenges.

My technology focus is on SQL Server and Active Directory, and I hope that I'll be able to show how you can leverage .NET to make the most of this foundation in the products and solutions you build on them. I'd also like to take some time here to show how the Visual Studio Team System can be used to make your organization more effiective in managing the development life cycle for your products and solutions.

Rather than repeating information that's already available from other sources, I'll use this space to provide my own insights (which I hope add value) and links to information you might find useful (such as my colleague's blogs.)

More soon...
